When all else fails I go back to art …

It's always interesting to know what people see in my paintings.
For me it's mostly a feeling that I use color to execute.  I'm prone to darker colors but yellow and black are a fierce combination of emotion.

Many thanks Jay

Looks like an apartment complex.  Maybe a professional graffiti'd building in a lively neighborhood.

That's a fascinating premise
I like the Graffiti aspect

BIG THANKS LJ

hello dearest Poet I'm kind of struggling as well
you know a little depression I try to create everyday regardless
and be grateful for what I have...like you are...

this is real expression 💕

I try to go with the flow but I can get moody pretty quickly.
But as I age I give a fuck less about things I really cared about.
So, I'll write something or paint something and try not to break anything or anybody too much ...

Thx ❤ ❤

I don't do well with too many light colors so I'm prone to stick large shapes of dark colors to do contrast and juxtaposition.  It's a yin yang thing in my personality I suppose.  You're more of an impressionistic painter.  I have huge respect for your work.  I'm more of a paint by mood type.  When people see stuff in them I always look but I approach art with more of a need to do it rather than pre-conceived subject matter.

Appreciate your take Ted

Thx

Unlike writing the paintings don't write themselves.  Sometimes I'll be shaving or washing the dishes and a block of colors will float into my head and I'll say to myself I've got to do something with that ... in that sense it is like writing.  I was lucky to find art as a way of expressing myself.  Otherwise I might have ended up in the slammer doing
2 to10 for bank robbery !!

Little joke on the last part !!

Maybe Talking Heads
They were my band back then ...

It would be a great loss if you didn't.
Your art is transcendent

Wow James
I wish you were my agent
I appreciate you !!

Thx

Struggle, determination, frustration, hope... a dash of lust and fuck-you....

Or for the more concrete minded: blood, sunshine, tears, and the falling stack of mom's boxes I have to unpack.

Maybe it's all the same.... 🤷‍♀️

Keep art-ing, we love it.
❤️k

I just paint them and look later.  No set plans.
But if I had to say what it reminded me of, I say Shoe Boxes and cowboy boots.  Some contusions too ...

Thx Red ❤

I see boots stomping out tribulations. November can be hard for many. Reminders of anniversaries bring the hardest.
Excellent art and voice.

Yes, my my Mom passed away in November.  My cousin just passed away 2 weeks ago.  I had a birthday too.  Funky times ...

Thx on art and poem.  
Comfort and zeal

Sending you comforting vibes, my friend.

Appreciate that Mary
Likewise ..

Home is where you can live

Home

Live
Work
Write dirty poems
Paint
Sometimes sleep
Wank
Exercise
Watch Knicks basketball
Repeat

The art of the naked woman is hot.  Keep on writing.

Women have to leave their clothes at the door ….

A hell of an artist you are for sure. Great ink 😁

I appreciate the nod DC.

Painting keeps me whole and grounded.  

Stay tuned for more ...

Thx

Nothing else feels like home.
BIG LIKE Poet.

It's a good feeling Wally

Hope to get some painting in this long weekend

Enjoy

Thx

Nicely done... you are in your element when you paint... and take it to the next level when you pair it with poetry...

Many thanks L

It's a contemplative act to paint these days.  So many distractions.
But when I get it going it usually turns out alright.
If I ever retire I'll try to put together some books maybe and show it correctly.  

I always appreciate your take

Many thanks

Happy T Day

A tumbler of Scotch (or your drink of choice) and Knicks basketball to sooth what ales you. Although the Knicks may not be that soothing, maybe numbing!

Nice art

I was drinking rye last night and when I ran out of that switched to bourbon for the overtime disaster.  It's hard to watch the
Knicks (Nix) without booze.  Heartbreakers for sure....

Thanks on the art,may do some today  !!
